PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS & CUSTOM GIFTS

Promotional Products are things like cups, mugs, key chains, koozies, pens and a million other products which are printed with your logo. Most are used to give away to advertise and promote your company, school, or event.

There is no limit to the creativity and variety of products that can be embellished with your logo. Who would have thought you could get chocolate bars or walnuts displaying your logo?

In most cases no, we may print a koozie job occasionally or some types of bags, but most of the promotional products require specialized equipment and inks very different than we use for screen printing garments. It is in everyone’s best interest to send the job to a specific company which specializes in for instance, printing on golf balls.

Turn around time varies greatly with the different types of products. Ask our sales staff for turn around time on the product of your choice.

Rush orders are available. Please call us today for information on turnaround time for the product of your choice.

We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express, cash and pre-approved checks.

Orders can be picked up at any of our four locations in Blacksburg, Charlottesville, Lynchburg and Roanoke. Orders can also be shipped UPS, standard charges will apply. Some companies promise free shipping, but then build it into your cost elsewhere with an additional markup. We prefer to keep our pricing straightforward and honest, so that you can make the appropriate decisions.

Once an order has been placed and artwork sent to a promotional products company, there is generally no way to cancel and order.

High Peak will produce artwork which both conforms to the requirements of the promotional product company and meets your needs. We provide this artwork to the supplier and then follow the process until production is completed and the product is provided to you.

We have a full service art department which can fine tune artwork you’ve done, or produce artwork from your idea. There are aspects to artwork for promotional goods which are very specific and crucial to getting a great looking print.

Our artists use primarily Apple computers running Adobe Illustrator. So if you’re providing artwork, it needs to be in vector format. We prefer to be provided illustrator files, eps, or vector pdf files. If questions remain our art department will be glad to discuss acceptable file types.
